White pepper, red fruit and cigar box. Pretty closed at first, but opened up over a few hours. Fresh acidity, juicy fruit, with a bit of chalky minerality. Not a lot of tannin, but flavours built over time. Very pleasant, elegant Syrah. (91 Very good wine)

It has that Syrah spice on the nose, there’s flowers too. Fresh flowers at that. Violets too. There’s a prickle of energy on the tongue and the fruit is berries and cherries with spice. There’s lovely acidity on the finish which is pretty long. Very satisfying. Difficult to put down the glass actually... chin chin
Canberra, Beechworth & Rutherglen wine tour day one (Canberra): Spicy aromas, slight stalks, black, brooding fruit, smoked bacon fat…smells like ripe vintage Cornas. In the mouth it's spicy, with black berry, chalky tannins, but an underlying freshness and balance. Very good.
